I understand this email will probably have no effect at all on your corporate policies nor your business practices, but I felt as a customer I should let you know how I feel about the Singer products I have purchased in the past two years. For as long as I can remember my Great Grandmother, Grandmother and Mother had Singer sewing machines. They were finely crafted and so durable they lasted 30-40 years if not more, Great Grandma�s singer is still going strong according to my cousin who owns it now. So I grew up associating the name Singer with a finely crafted product and a name you could trust.
